UK Prime Ministerial tenures since Milk-Snatcher Thatcher, approximated as lettuces

@urlyman @kotaro It’s all good. I am American. Painful political memories/day-to-day is the air I breathe.

@urlyman think Ms Truss has been unduly demonised as plenty of evidence to show it was already crashing, and a cynical person may suggest a lot of the rhetoric came from Mr Sunak's camp because he was not happy at loosing. Not saying she did right or was blameless because that's incorrect but trying to trigger growth, the economy and provide tax cuts for those most needing it was a very good thing. The current lot of GDP chasers, and the Tories before them, have done the polar opposite and generated nothing from it.

@EF we’ll agree to differ. If I could I’d probably have someone like James Meadway reply

[falcennial@mastodon.social]

@urlyman you sir, are brilliant 🤌

@urlyman @EF he should know that the day before the budget in question was published the Bank of England announced that they were about to start quantitative tightening…..

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@happypete pretty sure James acknowledges the BoE fkery. But also that he would tear the Tufton Street crowd a new one while integrating climate strategising

@urlyman what’s that in Scaramuccis, for those of us across the pond?

@urlyman QUEEN TRUSS!

@forty2 I believe the Truss:Scaramucci exchange rate is 4.9:1… roughly 🥬 🥬🥬🥬🥬:

Opening up…
and then crashing
pork markets

@urlyman not waving a Liz Truss flag by any means but a lot of what they announced was beneficial to me and a breath of fresh air (apart from the unfunded part although magically this government can fund £32B for a magic carbon capture folly).

The problem I have is more of the same is not good for the people of this country. Endless cuts and more direct and stealth taxing. Excuses to fund private companies. Chasing endless growth rather than focusing on the wellbeing of the populous and the betterment of the world, their raison d'être.

And yet everyone says it's the Americans who use bizarre units of measurement.

@SQLAllFather fair. There is a conversion rate https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/116793993565687961

@urlyman The head of lettuce is a brilliant unit but you’ve also introduced “the Truss” as an equivalent unit. Bravo!

[urlyman@mastodon.social]

@Kimota94 thank you

@urlyman

I feel like this is maybe a little unfair to the lettuce. Liz Truss did not last for a full lettuce, the lettuce was still in good health when she resigned.
